Corollary to First Category. 



As a corollary to the preceding "first category," it must be 

 obvious that if the term " capital " were restricted to subdivision 

 (J) — Services of man's auxiliary productive instruments and 

 energy machines — there would be less objection if it were not 

 assumed, afterwards, that these alone form the whole of the forces 

 necessary to produce man's wants in exchange in sufficiency for 

 all. Similarly, there would be little objection to restrict the term 

 ' ' capital ' ' to subdivision (a) — Current labour services — if it were 

 not ignored, in after applications, that subdivision (b) — Services 

 of man's auxiliary productive instruments and energy machines — 

 are also absolutely necessary for the supply of the whole range 

 of man's wants and satisfactions. 



Second Great Category. 



Modes of Appropriation of Wants in Exchange, Created or 

 Produced, or about to be Created or Produced. 

 Mode (a) — By Wages or Salary. 

 It is by this mode which the lower group of producers (mainly 

 artisans and unskilled workers) obtain a " title " commanding a 

 varying share of available consumable wealth, in respect of labour- 

 time consumed and personal services rendered by them in the wide 

 and varied field of production. 



Mode (6) — By Interest, Royalty, Tax, Dividend, Rent, Income, 



or Commission. 



It is by these modes that a "title" to command a share of 

 available consumable wealth is obtained by owners of auxiliary 

 instruments of production, improved lands, buildings, houses, rail- 

 ways, shipping, industrial business undertakings, &c., in respect 

 of labour-time consumed and skilled management, adventure-risk, 

 and organizing power personally exerted. 



These owners, as purchasers or inheritors of the value of 

 anterior labour and skill, incorporated in the powerful auxiliary 

 instruments and forces of production, are enabled to command a 

 more highly valued " title " to consumable wealth than the 

 * ' salary ' ' and ' ' wage ' ' class, who do not possess such special 

 value-giving accessories. 



Corollary to Second Great Category. 



The corollary that may be drawn from the preceding analysis, 

 which is sufficiently comprehensive, is that, individually, the 

 " salary and wages " group are relatively poor capitalists, while 

 owners of auxiliary accessories are, individually, rich capitalists. 

 As, however, the breadwinners of the " salary and wage " group 

 are fully ten times as numerous as employers and owners of
